Cover image for There are design decisions that
There are design decisions that don't come from the client. They come from within—and sometimes, that is exactly the problem. The previous logo for Boroló Estudio had soul. It had pre-Columbian roots, a hand-drawn stroke, and an indigenous character. It evoked drums, authenticity, and the Chocó—one of the most biodiverse and culturally rich regions in Colombia, a land of jungle, rivers, and a visual identity unlike any other. I loved it. And precisely because of that, I failed to evaluate the challenges the logo would face on real-world platforms: on a website, as an Instagram avatar, or in digital spaces. The redesign wasn't about letting go of the logo. It was about letting go of the attachment. The problem wasn't aesthetic—it was one of coherence. The studio’s brand had evolved, but the logo hadn't. A composition with too many elements in tension made the icon struggle to be memorable; what people saw didn't connect with who Boroló truly is. The new system retains the bird—now geometric, set in negative space within the icon. The inner container references the studio’s actual architectural blueprint: the diagonal of the cyclorama ceiling and the two zones of the space. The brackets refer to photographic framing. No layer imposes itself over the other—they are discovered. The result is a versatile system: imagotype, vertical logo, and wordmark. It works on a sticker, a billboard, an avatar, or a website. It scales without losing its identity. Redesigning doesn't mean the initial design was bad. It means communication needed to evolve. And from that point of view, the change isn't a correction—it’s a decision.

Cover image for Knowing when to keep it
Knowing when to keep it simple is also a creative decision. Working with AGROSAVIA, the Colombian Corporation for Agricultural Research, was one of the most demanding projects of my career as an audiovisual communicator — not because of its technical complexity, but because of the exact opposite. The pieces I developed are intentionally basic motion graphics. Animations explaining concrete agricultural processes — milk collection and handling in rural areas, palm oil production, good field practices — designed for farming communities far from urban centers, with limited access to technology and ways of learning that don't involve high-resolution screens or cinematic effects. That clarity of context shaped every production decision: clean compositions, institutional color palette respected down to the last detail, legible typography, paced animations that guide attention without overwhelming it. No unnecessary transitions. No visual resources competing with the information. Everything in service of the message. A Colombian state institution has communication guidelines built over years of deep knowledge of their audience. They aren't arbitrary — they're precise. The editor's job isn't to question them or modernize them. It's to understand them, respect them, and execute them with the same rigor applied to any high-level production. Excellence doesn't always look the same. Sometimes it's measured by how many farmers understood the process the first time they watched the video.
